New Shutters: Layout for Frosted Designs Challenge




































I just HAD to make this layout. I was so excited this weekend. THE MAN in a fit of romance installed shutters on my house for Valentine's Day. No flowers for this girl, I get big gifts! Wait 'til you see what I got for my 15th Anniversary...VERY different!

The challenge over at Frosted Designs is to:  GO BOLD and boy did I have fun with that. Bits of color here and there and in particular hot pink.

It helped I had a new Scraptastic Kit to play with!


Made some special yellow dyed lace from an ink pad and alcohol, added spatters of paint here and there and a big splash of hot pink that came in the kit. The special little ribbon flower came from my neighbor Shirley. I LOVE IT!!!



























Here is a cross section of my page so you can see all the dimension. Really pleased with how this one turned out. Sometimes simple and splashes can make you so happy!



























Here is another close up and you can see some of the washi tape that came along in the kit and new letters...Also a punch that I got for Christmas! Love it!

Happy Hump Day! Hope you get a chance to play along, it was quite fun!
